Can't remember what they're really called, we'd have to pull the drawing, but on there somewhere it says to pack the insides with finest spruce, which somehow became larch, which then gave its name to the parts themselves but they're actually made of 316 stainless. The drawing allows for them to be fully welded or riveted so we welded them then put the rivets in so they looked like the old photos. Not a splinter of larch anywhere.

I have wrought my simple plan
If I give one hour of joy
To the boy who’s half a man,
Or the man who’s half a boy.

I was rather late to David de Lara's Speed Odyssey book, as I don't collect nowadays and therefore normally don't even look - but I'm impressed. It is set out in a very clear way and has a good feel to it. The illustrations are superb and the text is nice and breezy.

I really hope it's doing well on the sales front, as it deserves a wide audience. I can't see how anyone could fail to find this account of Donald's life and achievements exhilarating.
